I find those containers to be fairly expensive. I use sandwich bags, fill them halfway, flatten them into thin pancakes, stack them and freeze them. It's much more compact and a cheaper (and less waste generating) way of freezing sauces, blanched vegetables, pesto, tomato sauce, etc. Spread them thin enough that you can just break off hunks for use easily. For making premade lunches that you take & go the containers are good though.
I buy bulk deli containers from Smart & Final. They are a lot cheaper than say Ziploc containers and have the enormous advantage of having the same size lid for 16, 8, and 4 ounce containers, so no searching for the right size lid. I haven't used a Tupperware in years! Here's a photo of similar containers from Amazon (ignore larger diameter containers):

I normally buy my vegetables at the Mexican market, Costco, or the farmers market. Lately I've been going to the 99 Cent Only Store 'cause good god, everything is only a buck and is by far the cheapest anywhere in town. The selection is random, but usable, and I can always find a bunch of stuff to my liking.

I've never heard of a 99 cent store with vegetables, where is this?

Santa Barbara, in uh, California. I got a pound of asparagus, a couple of portabellos, a pack of 5 roma tomatoes, and a pound of grapes for a buck apiece. On the other hand, rent is really expensive.
